We went to this restaurant based on its rating here on Trip Advisor. We were there on Labor Day (Sept 7 2009). There was a small line up but it went by fast. The place itself is nothing spectacular but you can smell the smoked meat from the outside. We definitely got our money's worth and more. We tried the... more

My wife had BBQ ribs and I had BBQ Chicken. They were good not great. Felt like a nice church sponsored BBQ. I liked the basic atmosphere - order and wait at counter in about 5 minutes. The staff was courteous and attentive, not particularly friendly. The sides were excellent. We had potatoe salad, coleslaw, and baked beans. The plain... more

Excellent food, friendly people and and dare I say, VALUE! Well worth the money every time. more

There is no doubt that this is the best BBQ place in the Tampa Bay area. Everything I've had here has been delicious and at a bargain price. Make it a life goal to go to this place at least once in your lifetime. more

This place has phenomenal barbeque and is a MUST visit. During the course of our stay I tried: Beef Brisket, Pulled Pork, Chicken, Fries, and Potato Salad. I LOVED everything they had, you can smell the smoke from before you walk in. They move the line quickly and there is a HUGE line at lunch. more

What can I say, top recommendation. The pork is excellent also. AAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++++ more

Lines start snaking out the door at 11:15 am on weekdays with people coming from all over town to try the real... more

This place is excellent! It's tucked into a strip mall and we had a little trouble finding it, but it was so worth it. The turkey is delicious and the fries and the macaroni salad...wow! Definitely don't miss going here! more
